Improvements needed

[edit]

First of all, why the strange title for this article? At least there should be a space before the bracket. But is IRC (WASH) really the correct title for this page? That's not how I usually see IRC mentioned. Secondly, you need more references. Have a look at some of the other pages, e.g. the one about Oxfam or WaterAid or SEI.

Oh now I realised that there was more content but you User:Dannyboi886 had deleted it. Why?EMsmile (talk) 21:44, 22 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Suggested title change

[edit]

Can we please change the title to something better than IRC(WASH)? At least it should be with a space in between. On their website the IRC thing is explained like this in their FAQ section: "'IRC' comes from International Reference Centre for Community Water Supply, which was our name from the founding of the organisation in 1968 (by the World Health Organization and Dutch government) to mid-1980s, when it changed into IRC International Water and Sanitation Centre. Since 2014 we are known as IRC, no acronym, just our name in capital letters. Occasionally with the additional strapline: supporting water sanitation and hygiene services for life." I guess "IRC (WASH)" would be OK. Or "IRC (supporting WASH services)". EMsmile (talk) 21:44, 22 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

User:EMsmile, Good morning! I have altered the topic from IRC(WASH) to IRC (WASH), I think right now people should be less confused by what this "IRCWASH" is.
